In the middle of hustling bustling Ferry Building - having good food was a good pleasure. What we are and how it was for me: KTPP - light filling and open flavours. Very wholesome. Was lemony and the toppings go so well with the soup. balanced. 4* Spicy lemongrass Chicken - the better dish in the day. The flavours of the spice with well seasoned chicken really went with the rice. Ah good food. If you are confused and are okay with rice and spice (Indian level spice) go for it. You might sweat but you'll have fun. 5* Above is obviously subjective. I am just glad that I got to try Combodian culture through their food all the way in San Francisco.

Warning to those who have never tried Cambodian, the food leans slightly sweet. The first time I came here, my only reference was pho and I was startled by the difference. Having said that, the food is fresh and complex. This is one of my staple places in SF. Amazing soup, dry noodles, and fried chicken. Very relaxed feel with high quality food. Also, very friendly for gluten free people!

Came in randomly to Ferry Building one day and saw Cambodian restaurant. Never tried this cuisine so decided to take a look. We settled on the pepper steak plate which sounded similar to Vietnamese shaken beef. Boy o boy! Freakin delish!! The sauce was bomb! I had to go home and research this recipe and restaurant! What the heck! It was on Michelin guide and Netflix!! What a find! So glad serendipity brought me to this place! Definitely gonna try something new next time I’m around! I hope the chef owner decides to expand to the Peninsula because we will surely support her business in this area!

When we decided to visit SF, this place was at the top of our list, we tried the Pork Noodle Soup and Yellow Curry with Rice and wow, they were sooo good. My husband has a thing that if he doesn't touch his beer whilst he's eating it must be good and he didn't have one swig the entire time! Both exceeded our expectations! They were so delicious that we couldn't stop talking about it and went back again to have more. This time we tried the Dry Noodle and Cha kroeung - Spicy Lemongrass Chicken, yet again both were amazing. Excellent food, great Team, we can't wait to go back. Thank you

Came for lunch and had the dry noodles which came with a small side of pork broth. The flavors of the noodles and the broth were delicious! Definitely one of the tastiest meals I've had in a while at the Ferry Building. Will need to come back now to try the other menu items.

This is a relatively new Cambodian eatery in the Ferry Building (formerly of Oakland) with counter order and limited seating. The restaurant opens at 11 so to avoid waiting in a long line and to ensure we got a table, we arrived around 10:40. The KTPP Pork Noodle Soup was the highlight, followed by very good fried Chicken Wings and excellent Prahoc Kriss as well as KTPP Dry Noodles. Although each dish was accompanied by a slice of lime, we were disappointed there was not a separate plate of bean sprouts to add to the noodle soup order as per tradition. Although upon request, our friendly server brought us a small bowl of fried garlic to add to the soup. We were also slightly disappointed on this day there was no Curry and Lok Cha available.

My husband, toddler and I went in for lunch and we were seated when a table opened up. The waiter who waited on us was so courteous and attentive. The food was brought fast, had good portion sizes and tasted amazing. The setup was casual and homely. Such a warm experience

First time tried Cambodian food here and loved it. Their Pork noodle soup is simple but delicious and comforting on a cold winter day! Several types of meat added an exploration component to it. The portion was so generous that I had to ask my husband to help me:)) We also got Loc Lack Shaking beef and it was also full of flavor. The space is small but very cute with bright details. It’s hard to get a spot inside - that’s the only downside.

Located in the ferry building you’ll find Lunette which serves amazing Cambodian food. This was my first time trying Cambodian food but I absolutely loved it! It’s usually pretty busy on the weekends and seating might be hard to find but it’s so worth it, especially for their yellow curry which is my fav. It’s super flavorful, creamy curry and super addicting. I always end up finishing my rice, trying to scoop up any sauce left. Their lemongrass chicken was an also pretty good! It had a lot of textures with the string beans and peppers and I rly liked how strong the lemongrass flavor is throughout the whole dish.

Delicious food and quite generous portions that leave me happy and full! There's typically a line within a few minutes of opening time. The line is worth it. Note that anytime the seats are all taken up, the staff announces "full house," and any orders after that are prepared for take away. This keeps their kitchen team firing on a regular interval. You may be able to order for takeaway and then find a seat after receiving your order anyway. Highly recommend, would go back any time my schedule allows... and I live across the country.

I wanted some soup and came across this place on my stroll around the Ferry Building. Ordered a pork noodle soup and fried chicken wings. The chicken wings came as five juicy wings fried to perfection with a batter that is peppery, umami, and moreish. Advisable to share although I licked the bones clean off those wings. The soup though, is a highlight of its own and will linger in my palate for a long long time. The broth is clear and yet so rich that is able to carry the mixture of succulent pork slices, juicy pork mince, fresh thick prawns, crunchy and clean-tasting beansprouts. All of this sprinkled with a generous dusting of black pepper. Add a spoon of the pickled chillies and enjoy the explosion of flavours in your mouth. I sat at the barstool, the bachata they play on the stereo makes me want to dance. I was having a moment of epiphany soaking everything in my lunch. It is not only a great meal, it is among those that really makes an impression. Will go back and evangelise others to this gem. Thank you! P.s: service wise, I think there should be a little bit more sensitivity and warmth in how the front of office treats customers. A cashier, with the initial of HD, was so unaccomodating. We were just ordering and eyeing a table that was almost finished. She directly just made our orders takeaway and when I said we got a table she merely replied ‘I sent the orders in’ even if I haven’t even paid for it. I’m not even trying to be a difficult customer, but I’m bringing my old aunts on an SF excursion and the least I wanna do is for them to eat and enjoy the experience I normally have at Lunette, not eating out from the store in takeaway boxes. Food wise amazing as always, but it’s the little things like that that make a restaurant beloved.

If you are planning to dine in you should come early or you will have to take it out. They close at 7pm. After 6:30 they will offer you take out. This is my first ever Cambodian food. It was so good and delicious. We had take out but we found a table to eat inside service was good but they are extremely busy during cold weather or if there is any event near by. We will come back for more.

Really enjoyed my meal at Lunette. I’ve been to Cambodia dozens of times over the years and it was very clearly a beautiful, traditional Khmer dish I was eating, but at the same time there was something so different and unique about it too. Very evident the chef(s) take great pride in their craft and have made tweaks here and there which really turned some traditional Cambodian dishes into something very special.

It’s not often you can eat Cambodian food and at Lunettes every dish deserves to be savored and enjoyed! My taste buds felt like they were back in Cambodia the minute I had a spoonful of the KTPP. Love the staff and won’t be surprised if this spot and food gets a Michelin rating!! I’ll have to come back again to get a Before Picture, but I was too excited to eat today!

Fashionably retro look to this Cambodian gem nestled in the historic Port of San Francisco building. Order at counter from a focused-menu, noticeably big on pork. Dry Noodles, rice-based, served with thinly sliced and ground pork as well as a side of fragrant pork broth to sip between every well-seasoned bite. Side of stir-fried vegetables, a winner. The owner-chef actively operates the restaurant and works both register and floor, keeping guests attended to and satisfied. An inspiring story captured in Netflix’s << Chef’s Table >>.

Stopped for a quick lunch. Ordered their yellow curi. It's listed as vegan with an option to add fried chicken (which we did). You usually see potatoes cooked down into the sauce, so the roasted potatoes were a nice surprise!

Dry noodles were a mix of contrasting textures and flavors. Pork soup noodles are really great. Family said that the fried chicken was good and the rice that came with it was very flavorful. Everything here has really delicious and strong flavors. Fast service and attentive workers make this a good place for a quick lunch break. Prices are steep and portions are small, but not sure if this is food that I’d be able to easily reproduce or find. Looking forward to coming again and ordering more.

March 2025: Came again for lunch and sat at the bar stools. Enjoyed the dry noodles 🍜 and the beef stir fry with pea sprouts and red onions. Both were tasty. I think I like the fried chicken the best so far! 😋 March 2025: Excited to try this place. Read many reviews and everyone loves this place. Tried the fried chicken with rice and the veggie curry dishes. Both were excellent. Took the food to go because the place was packed on a Saturday (Farmer's market day). Would definitely come back again. Service was friendly and helpful when we were trying to decide on what to try.

It's not every day I find a Cambodian restaurant to try. This place is located in the Ferry Building. It's a casual place where you order at the counter and then hope to find an available table to sit to enjoy your meal (if you plan to dine in). I ordered a few items to try some of them earlier in the day. I ordered the Lort Cha, Loc Lak, chicken wings, and Somlaw Guhree. I really enjoyed the Loc Lak as the beef was super tender and full of flavor. The Lort Cha was also a delight to eat as the noodles had a good texture to them. The wings were super crispy and moist on the inside. The Somlaw Guhree was a good dish to balance everything out.

Located in the beautiful SF Ferry Building, Lunette evokes the feel and sensory experience of an Asian market... Walking up to the counter, the enticing scent of cooking and food from the open kitchen makes you want to order one of everything from the compact menu (3 noodle dishes, 4 rice dishes, fried chicken wings, fish cakes and a daily special) The star attraction for me is the KTPP Noodle Soup... Rice noodles in a rich pork broth that is savory sweet and peppery and herbaceous... Served with sliced pork, minced pork, shrimp, and topped with crispy garlic, it is a culinary hug that comforts and warms... One can also have the noodle dry, with a bowl of the pork broth served on the side for sipping and dipping! Also delightful is the Khmer Fried Chicken wings... Crisp coating, lightly peppery and juicy, these wings don't disappoint!

Located inside the Ferry Building, we ordered the KTPP/Pork Noodle Soup, the restaurant’s most famous dish. It offered unique and well-balanced flavors without being too spicy. We enjoyed our meal while sitting outside.

absolutely amazing hidden gem inside san francisco ferry building. as seen on chef’s table netflix episode about cambodian/khmer food. we loved everything we got and wish we could’ve tried more. get the ktpp and fried chicken rice!

This was my last dinner in SF before my flight and it certainly hit the spot. I was prepared for a Thursday night crowd, but I was pleasantly surprised to be seated at the counter immediately despite a small line. I usually go for the dry version of these noodles, and Lunette’s take is definitely bolder and more flavorful than what I’m used to. The available pickled chili peppers in fish sauce were a great touch, though be warned they do pack some heat if you’re a chronic sweater like me. The portions were so generous that I actually struggled to finish the last few bites. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout. It was a fantastic way to end the trip.

I sought this place out due to the Netflix documentary chef's table about Cambodian food. The food is actually very good, flavorful and made with high quality ingredients. Serving side is moderate, not too small or large. I had the "dry noodle" and chicken wings. The dry noodle is not that dry, it is just not in soup, there is plenty of sauce and it comes with a bowl of flavorful broth. The ingredients, especially the shrimp are of good quality, with good texture and fresh flavor. The chicken wings are cooked well, plump and meaty. Food wise, the only issue is that it is on the salty side, especially the broth, which I cannot finish due to the saltiness. Service is semi-counter service. You line up and, order and pay at the counter (which ask you to tip up front before any food or service is rendered). You get a tag and find a table, which they then bring the food to you. There is drinks in the fridge, or a big cooler of water to go get yourself, along with napkins. The price is what bothered me. The food is no frill (good) Cambodian street style food, but my noodle soup and chicken wings starter cost me almost $50 after tax and tips, which doesn't seem aligned with the service and style of the restaurant. Yes, it is SF and it is located near the tourist district, but still, $50 for moderate serving of good street style food in a counter service restaurant seem excessive. Please check hours before visiting. They closes at 7pm when I visited and turned away dine in patron at 6:45pm.

The food at Lunette Cambodia is excellent—I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10. I've eaten Cambodian food in both Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, and the quality here is truly comparable. The Loc Lak (salt and pepper tofu) was delicious and clearly made with care. However, the service policies left me confused and disappointed. I visited for lunch on a busy Veteran's Day. There's a sign at the counter stating you must order before waiting to be seated, so I did exactly that as instructed. When I placed my order, I was told my only option was takeout in a to-go container because there were no tables available at that moment. I offered to wait for a table to open up, but was told that wasn't possible—I could only receive my food in a cardboard container even if I wanted to eat there. This policy seems backwards. If seating is required before ordering, why does the sign say the opposite? And if someone is willing to wait for a table, why force them into takeout packaging? I specifically dislike eating from cardboard containers and would have happily waited to enjoy my meal properly plated. Additionally, there are condiments on the counter with a "NOT FOR GUESTS" sign, which is confusing since they're set up like self-service. I had to ask for the spicy peppers in fish sauce that other diners had, apparently because they don't have enough for all tables. The food truly is very good, which makes the awkward service experience all the more frustrating. For such a small space dealing with high volume, they might benefit from clearer communication and more logical policies. I'd return for takeout, but the dine-in experience needs work.

Five of us had dinner here on a weeknight. The staff was super friendly and as we had five people we simply ordered one of each dish they offer. The menu is modest but diverse enough to handle a diverse group. Fried chicken has surged in popularity so I was keen to try their version and I highly recommend it. They use rice flour to make an excellent crunch. Our group like the chicken, the student noodles and the broad noodle dish as standouts. I enjoyed the shaking beef as it’s got a unique Carmel flavor. The venue is casual and can lean toward the noisy side. I’d characterize as good for casual but not romantic. The cost for five was $200.

Honestly good soup but it could be better if not served in the to go bowl (I did not ask for this). Pricey because of the location.

Cambodian noodles. I came with a friend on a Friday lunchtime. We ordered food at the counter and found a table easily. My friend really enjoyed the soup noodle. However, my vegan stir-fry noodle (student noodle) turned out to be mediocre. It did come with good portion of mushrooms and Tofu. Because it is located in the ferry building, it is on the pricy side for what we got. ($21/each) Overall good location. Update, visited again. ordered K.T.P.P dry noodle and Pork noodle soup, both are delicious. But I have to say the soup noodle is much better. Opens Tuesday to Saturday only. We visited on Saturday where the farmers market is also going on. It is busy but we were able to find seating reasonablely fast. Food came out pretty fast as well.

Brings back fond memories of a trip to Cambodia. Definitely satisfy our craving for Cambodia food . Refreshing Salad with that ting of fish sauce; Noodles perfect Al dente & good balance of proteins & veggie likes ; so happy we did ordered the fried chicken - crunchy outside moist inside ❤️ Lunette is a great addition to the Ferry Building!

The food was 5 stars. We got two rice dishes ($21 for each), the lemongrass chicken and the fried chicken. Both were true delicious and the fried chicken also came with a small cup of broth which was outstanding. Taking one star off for the price to portion ratio. I wouldn't say we left hungry but we definitely didn't leave feeling full.

Lunette is worth the try if you’re in the Ferry Building and hankering for a hearty lunch. It’s not often you will find Cambodian cuisine highlighted in a place like this and I am glad Lunette is here to show everyone what Cambodian food is! The Loc Lak Shaking Beef dish was a nice sized lunch. Tasty but my beef was a little tough and required a knife to cut with. This isn’t typical for what I am used to with this dish - not saying it’s bad just different. My partner had the yellow curry which was rich and flavorful. Both dishes were served with rice. Seating was tough competition as we are in the height of holiday shopping on a busy Saturday morning. I’d like to come back and try more offerings. I do hope Lunette does well here.

I had some time to kill before getting on to the ferry and decided to try out this place for dinner for the first time. I have traveled in Cambodia and have fond memories of eating alligator meat in Siem Reap but none was to be found on this menu :) On the menu the beef dish sounded good so I decided to try that. The meat was well done with onions and the sauce was good. It was just the right temperature. The portions were little smaller given the price and was served in cheap plasticky plate but hey it’s SF, what do you expect? :) I paid $25.96 including tip, no drinks.

The big-pot broth that came on the side is perfect - dare I say better than the noodle broth itself, which is well-balanced but not quite as funky as I hoped it would be. Service is lovely. Will be back to try the yellow cari.

Lunette is a casual Cambodian restaurant inside San Francisco’s Ferry Building, led by chef Nite Yun of former Nyum Bai fame. It serves comforting rice plates, noodle soups like kuy teav Phnom Penh, and Khmer fried chicken in a bright, welcoming space. The stall-style spot at Shop 33 is popular for quick, flavorful lunches with fast counter service and limited seating

I ordered the pork noodle soup to go. Hot & comforting. There is a line to order. Once I got my order in at the counter, I got the noodle soup very quickly! It’s a simple soup with slices of pork, several large shrimp, bean sprouts, cilantro and thin noodles plus a wedge of lime. Very tasty especially the chunk of dried pork which made me think of jerky (incredibly flavorful nugget!). This noodle soup is similar to Thai noodle soup except there is no sweet & sour ingredients. I would definitely order this again!

I wasn't quite sure what to expect coming to Lunette but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with how good the meal was and will definitely be returning. I came with 2 other people at around 12:30pm on a Sunday and there was a super long line so we decided to order takeout so we wouldn't need to wait for a table to be seated but thankfully a large wooden table across the way from Lunette was open. Items we ordered: - KTPP - Pork Noodle Soup - KTPP - Dry Noodle - Loc Lak Salt + Pepper Beef - Cha Kreung Spicy Lemongrass chicken (but no spice because the member of our party getting this dish can't handle spice) All 4 dishes were pretty good but I think my favorite out of all of them was the Pork Noodle Soup though I thought that there were supposed to be pork rinds on top but it could have been due to the fact that we ordered ours to-go that there weren't any. The Dry noodle was interesting, I only had a bite of it but I'm more of a soup noodle type of person. Both the KTTP dishes had a bunch of black pepper which I personally loved. All of the dishes were pretty flavorful to the point of where you didn't feel like you needed additional condiments. The price point is average for the Ferry building & SF area though the portion was a bit small. We were kind of assuming that hence ordering the 4th item to share. There were sauces also available inside which I'm not sure what they were but they were interesting in a good way because I wasn't expecting them to be sour/tangy. ~~Return: Yes

Right in the Ferry Building, Lunette absolutely slaps. The classic pork noodle soup is excellent, gets better with each bite. Lines are a bit long so may need to wait, especially during lunch, but worth it!

Great food. Flavor has absolutely not been sacrificed and the spirit remains if updated with more familiar ingredients. That said phew what a cramped space. Makes for an unpleasant experience. They need to expand.

The soup and vegetables are nice. The rice on the other hand was kind of too salty. Interesting place to feast on Asian food!

The soup and vegetables are nice. The rice on the other hand was kind of too salty. Interesting place to feast on Asian food!

I visited Lunette’s during my lunch break and wanted to see what the hype was about. I did not have a lot of time nor the stomach to try many different dishes, so I ordered the Lort Cha (stir fried pin noodles w/ pork) which looked most unique to me and took a seat at the bar. The dish was out after about 10 minutes. Sitting by the bar, I can see the staff are very efficient and each person has a role they own. It got pretty busy for lunch and tables filled up fast while the line grew longer. Unfortunately I was not wowed by the dish. This might have been the first time I tried pin noodles. I found them interesting at first, but ultimately not my favorite texture so I couldn’t finish them all at the end. I enjoyed the chinese broccoli, bean sprouts, but the dish composition (mostly noodle) felt underwhelming especially given the price point.

It's a cute little spot in the Ferry Building. I went there with a friend. We got the dry noodles ($21) and the yellow curry with added fried chicken ($26). The noodles were good, but the curry was just okay. The portions were small for the price, and we were still hungry after we finished.

Bright and colorful, this small Cambodian spot in the Ferry Building is probably the fastest made-to-order meal you can find nearby. The staff is young but eager, bringing the food out quickly (which is okay for one or two people, but could cause staggered eating for larger groups). Seating is limited — while we were able to find a table immediately, our entire meal was spent with groups hovering right next to us watching and waiting to snag a table. It was, honestly, quite uncomfortable (though understandably there’s not a whole lot Lunette can do about it, still wish there could have been more seating — or at least more privacy). The food itself was flavorful and fun. If you haven’t had Cambodian before, think of it as a cross between Chinese and Thai — lots of warm sauces and thick curries. Yum! The Cha Kroeung (spicy chicken with lemongrass) was the clear favorite — it was striking and flavorful, warming us up after a cold morning at the farmer’s market. We also ordered the Loc Lak (salt and pepper beef) at the behest of The Infatuation SF, but honestly it didn’t live up to their hype. The beef was chewy and oily, and while the lime sauce was good there wasn’t enough to compensate for the otherwise bland dish. To be fair, the counter service attendant recommended the Pork Noodle Soup as their #1 dish, but my dining partner doesn’t eat pork so we opted to try something else. I won’t go out of my way to try this again, but if I find myself at Lunette in the future then this is the dish I’d give a try. Overall, it’s not a bad choice, but has some issues in the menu and seating area that could be worked out.

I was super pumped for lunette after watching parts unknown with Anthony Bourdain, but was somewhat disappointed. I tried the khmer fried chicken and the somlaw guhree/yellow curry. The fried chicken was nice and tangy vinegary flavor like salt and vinegar chips. The yellow curry was nice but nothing to write home about. I will go back to try the noodle soups which I think may be the highlight. Service is self service. The ambience is nice as it's in the ferry building. But this also means that you are paying tourist prices.

I wish the person taking orders at the counter gave better advice - I wanted to order the pork noodle soup which they're known for but she discouraged me from doing so since it didn't look like a table would free up in time. And of course 5 minutes after we ordered, we found a table. Anyway, the prahok ktiss and Khmer fried chicken were good but nothing amazing. We don't mind eating here again but with the plethora of choices within the Ferry Building alone, much less the city, I doubt we'd be back.

Kind of underwhelmed. I got the pork noodle bowl which cost $22 before tax. The shrimp was really big and quite tasty but the pork cutlet and noodles were bland. What saved the meal was the broth though. Spooning that down after the noodles with the bits of pork was a wonderful experience. The broth was extremely flavorful especially with a bit of sriracha added. But overall not really worth the price. I guess that’s somewhat to be expected given it’s in a tourist location though.

I wish the person taking orders at the counter gave better advice - I wanted to order the pork noodle soup which they're known for but she discouraged me from doing so since it didn't look like a table would free up in time. And of course 5 minutes after we ordered, we found a table. Anyway, the prahok ktiss and Khmer fried chicken were good but nothing amazing. We don't mind eating here again but with the plethora of choices within the Ferry Building alone, much less the city, I doubt we'd be back.

Kind of underwhelmed. I got the pork noodle bowl which cost $22 before tax. The shrimp was really big and quite tasty but the pork cutlet and noodles were bland.
